Chapter 137 Looking for Aircraft Manufacturing Equipment

"How about it? This is the first factory we've been to. Can you process parts for our aircraft?"

Aiwenyi Road, Shanghai, in front of the tram production and assembly workshop of Yingdian Company.

Bayuzao stared closely at Wang Zhu who came out of it, his eyes were full of eager anticipation, and his mouth kept crackling:
"Yupeng, has their big boss met you? Are you easy to talk to? Have you told them that only a few small parts need to be processed on behalf of them, and we will pay for materials and electricity in addition to the basic processing fee. Absolutely not. Let them suffer, and the prospects for cooperation between the two parties in the future are very broad."

"Hey, you're just talking, but I'm so anxious, if you succeed or not, hurry up, we can go to the next factory to try our luck, time waits for no one."

"Forget it, don't tell me if I ask you, I'd better go in and ask him myself."

Seeing that Bayuzao really wanted to ask himself, Wang Zhu, who had been walking this way, nodded and shook his head again.

This made Bayuzao dizzy, and he stepped forward to support the other party's shoulder and said, "I asked, but the other party didn't agree."

Wang Zhu shook his head, pushed Bayuzao's hand away, walked to the side bench and sat down: "That's not what I mean."

"What does that mean? Wouldn't it be nice to say that you are willing to process it?" Bayuzao also sat down next to him, with confusion on his face: "But you look dejected, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like this look."

This means that the construction period for their first aircraft was extended in vain, which did not meet their original plan at all.

Patting off the crumbs of snacks on his body, Bayuzao wondered: "Now we are in a hurry to find the machine, why do you suddenly start to recall the previous things? It's almost done, we have to go home after cleaning up We haven't been to the factory, the Watson Electric Manufacturing Factory, but I heard that the strength is quite good."

Wang Zhu didn't answer the question, and said slowly, "However, thinking about it, the wife's cake before landing was actually the best food we ate in England. It's really amazing."

"But it's better to be real, so we can count it as an action this time, and we can draw a punctuation mark. What's that symbol called? Yes, it's a full stop. It's like this new style of punctuation. It was also promoted by our Dean Cheng, is it a good sign for the two of us?"

Wang Zhu took a deep breath and said, "I think it's people who think we're building airplanes, have a public background, don't want to help and don't want to offend others, so they've resorted to delaying the attack. Maybe someone will come out and inform us later, which lathe Broken, can't do this."

After chewing a few times, Bayuzao swallowed them all: "One is just right, but two are boring, you can eat that one."

Wang Zhu turned his head and asked with a smile, "Yes, it was the first time I went to the sky. It was novel, exciting, and unforgettable. Do you still remember the name of that pilot?"

"Lead the way ahead. It seems that this Watson Electric Manufacturing Factory has something to do with our Dean Cheng. I don't know if it's true or not."

With Cheng Nuo's support, Bayuzao and Wang Zhu don't need money for the time being, but they lack manufacturing machines and workers, which are not available in China and need to be prepared from scratch.As far as the machine is concerned, if you can buy it, you can definitely buy it from abroad, but there is a window period of several months in the middle, and you have to wait for the machine to come from overseas.

Cheng Nuo came here this time mainly to see how the production and sales of the new fans are going, and whether they are on the right track. After all, he is going back to Beijing soon, and he will have to wait until the annual meeting of the Academy of Sciences at the end of the year. Time to manage this affiliated enterprise of the Academy of Sciences.

At that time, I was still wondering, why did you bring this, do you still remember what you said? "

Bayuzao frowned slightly: "It seems that he is unwilling to help us build an airplane, but he didn't reject it outright. Does it mean that there is still a chance to cooperate, or should I ask again?"

……

Wang Zhu nodded: "After all, electric lights have to be made of foreign goods. It's understandable that these parts can't be made. They can't be blamed. If it doesn't work, we can go to Guangzhou again. Isn't there an airport built there? Maybe there are machines out there that can process aircraft parts."

Hearing the final confirmation command, the master decoration worker began to draw a small circle on the ceiling, and then began to take out tools and drive the hooks in with a hammer.

Ba Yuzao stretched out his hand, felt the strong support from his friend, stood up and regained his confidence: "Shanghai can't do it, let's go to Guangzhou and find the 'big president', if it doesn't work, let's go to Beijing, there is still a Nanyuan plane Repair shop, there must be a way, it’s just a little more effort.”

Those who are capable of doing so are all foreign companies. After hearing their origins, their performance is almost exactly the same as that of the British Electric Company above. In the early stage, they used various reasons to prevaricate them. is their truest response.

"Then let's go, I've eaten my wife's cake, I've also drank the 'chicken soup', let's go on and go to that Watson Electric Factory!"

"It's Mr. Porter. I haven't seen him for so many years, and I don't know how he is." Wang Zhu stood up from the bench, straightened his clothes, and said with a smile, "After we get off the plane , Mr. Porter said to us, since we have gone to heaven, will we still see everything on earth?"

Bayuzao had a smile on his face: "Later, we went to the shipyard for an internship during the summer vacation. There happened to be a private airport nearby. We scraped together two pounds, and he didn't mind it. We got on his plane. It was ours. First time going to heaven."

"A little to my left, go to the left, go to the left, hey, hey, after that, go to the right, that's it, you can go on the hook."

Yang Jichuan turned his head to Cheng Nuo who was next to him, and said politely, "Professor Cheng, is this new fan hung like this?"

Seeing that the hook was punched in, he shook it with his hand. After he couldn't feel the shaking, he rode on the ladder and shouted to the people below: "Director Yang, we've made acquaintances, we can hang up the fan."

Saying that, Bayuzao cleaned up the crumbs from the handkerchief and poured it into his mouth: "This skin is still more delicious."

Bayuzao's eyes were full of question marks, and he asked in confusion, "Mr. Porter really said that?"

"Director Yang, it's ready, do you have any instructions?" The worker on the ladder shouted.

Bayuzao blushed: "That's all in the past, don't mention it again, I haven't eaten my wife's cake, and my wife has disappeared."

While shaking his handkerchief, Bayuzao asked, "I still remember the wife cake, but I really forgot what was said at that time. What did I say?"

"You said that, I'm really a little hungry, I'll try it." Bayuzao held the handkerchief, brought the wife's cake, and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

Bayuzao handed the handkerchief to the other party, and said unconvinced: "You have eaten your wife's cake, what about your wife?"

Wang Zhu sighed, and explained: "I saw the big boss, and he was very enthusiastic on the surface, and asked him to help make parts, and he readily agreed, but later asked that we were used to make airplanes. When the time comes, his complexion changes with a single swipe.

Wang Zhu patted his friend's thigh and comforted him: "It's hard to pass. Everything is hard. If it's not possible, we can buy machine tools and make machines by ourselves. Even a rivet can be made by ourselves. If we need them, we can do it ourselves." Just got it out."

Wang Zhu put away the handkerchief and folded it neatly: "At that time we came to study at the Armstrong Naval Academy in the UK. Fascinated, remember the aircraft testing ground next to the academy?"

"Are you sure!?" Yang Jichuan gestured to the people waiting below: "Pass over our new fan so that Lao Zhang can hang it up."

"However, this one is not bad. They even serve dim sum, which is not too greasy." Wang Zhu took out something tightly wrapped in a handkerchief from his coat pocket, opened it and saw that it was two pieces of wife cake, and handed it to A friend: "Wake up so early in the morning, I guess you haven't eaten yet, it came out of it, try it?"

Wang Zhu instructed: "Eat slowly, no one will grab it for you. If there is not enough food, the piece in my hand is also yours."

Assistant Wang put his handkerchief back in his pocket, and said with a smile, "Yes, although we were studying the navy at that time, we all thought that one day we would return to China and fly to the great rivers and mountains of our motherland in person to feast our eyes on it. "

Cheng Nuo nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, that's it. Let's arrange the cables later to avoid disturbing the rotation of the fan blades, and our workers can come down."

Wang Zhu chuckled and almost choked something up his trachea. After coughing for a long time, he said, "We were only seventeen or eighteen years old at the time. You said that since there is no wife in the wife cake, you should find one on this island of Great Britain and give it to you later." Hometown people take a good look."

Wang Zhu ate his share slowly, with memories in his eyes: "Yunhua, do you still remember the days when we first arrived in England before we went to the United States? , Only you brought the wife cake from your hometown.

"It's the aircraft testing ground ten miles away from our college? How can I forget it!" The topic finally turned to the plane, and Bayuzao said excitedly: "At that time, whenever there was an aircraft test flight, they would go to watch it on foot. It's almost broken."

Bayuzao took pleasure in bitterness: "Well, even though I have been to so many factories and refused to help, the reasons for rejection are better than the last, and they are not repeated. I am really wronged by them, and they can come up with so many tricks. Let's learn a little bit, and we can use it when we reject others in the future."

Said let me wait outside for a while, and after discussing with their technical staff, I will reply. "

After calming down, Bayuzao said: "It's hard to say about these foreign companies, but I believe that our Chinese factory's refusal must have his reasons. Maybe it's because they really can't make things that meet our precision requirements, and they have no power."

In the Watson Electric Manufacturing Factory, a group of workers are working closely in the workshop.

So they decided to outsource a few key parts and overcome the rest by themselves.But I never expected that the domestic industry is concentrated in the cotton textile industry, and I have no ability to help them do this.

After carefully inquiring about the sales situation, the order would be in the queue for six months, which made Cheng Nuo secretly dumbfounded.

When the Republic of China was first established, there was an aviation bureau in the interim presidential palace, and Yang Xianyi was appointed as the director.Under the guidance of the interim president, Guangzhou established an airport and an aircraft repair factory at that time, and also allocated funds to raise funds from abroad to purchase aircraft, and sent Yang Xianyi to the United States to study flight and aircraft manufacturing technology.

Bayuzao said without hesitation, "Bottle!"

Wang Zhu ate the rest of the snacks, and said with a smile, "Isn't that right? At that time, your wife's cake was taken out by seagulls. If the cake didn't reach her mouth, she naturally disappeared."

Immediately afterwards, the crowd gathered around, lifted up the assembled new fan, hung it up firmly, and even hung a big red flower in the center of the fan blade.

Later, the interim president lived in Japan and organized an aviation school in Biwa Yakaichi, Kyoto.The school started in the next year, purchased 2 Goldron monoplanes, hired 2 Japanese instructors, and 1 American consultant.More than 20 students are recruited, most of whom are overseas Chinese in Japan, and the training is effective.

After I came here, I found that the business was extremely booming. In addition to the Zhoujiazui factory that was under construction, the workshop here has also expanded a lot, and there are many more unfamiliar faces, all of whom are busy producing electric fans.

"Okay, no problem." Yang Jichuan waved to other workers waiting on the side, and said, "Brothers, help Lao Zhang stabilize the ladder so that the line can be walked steadily."

After Wang Zhu buttoned up his suit, he stretched out his hand to his companion and said, "It doesn't matter whether we said it or not, we all have to move forward, open roads in the mountains, and build bridges in the water. If we can't do it, we will do it ourselves. What?"

It's going to be winter in six months, do I still need a fan?
But if you look closely at the source of the order, it makes sense. It turned out that it came from Guangzhou.

Just observing and inquiring along the way, I didn't see Yang Jichuan in the middle, I thought this guy was going to discuss business, but I didn't expect that in another workshop, he was experimenting with a new type of fan, which was also the appearance designed by Cheng Nuo.

"Professor Cheng, do we just call the new fan a ceiling fan? Is it a bit..." Yang Jichuan looked at the ceiling fan on the ceiling and gritted his teeth: "Even Americans don't have this thing, we made it ourselves , proving that domestic products are much more powerful than foreign ones.”

Cheng Nuo looked at the ceiling fan with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "It's so easy to understand, how good it is, the common people would be confused when they call out those literary names. As for the benefits of domestic products, after this battle , I believe more and more people will realize it.”
